4V Wonderings About Connected Moon and Earth Patterns

4V spent time today pondering the following BIG IDEA...

"The motion of the Earth and the moon cause observable patterns that affect living and non-living things."

Some of the student wonderings included:

I wonder why seasons only last a few months.

I wonder why only some places in the world experience four seasons.

I wonder which places in the world experience something other than 4 seasons.

I wonder how long it takes the moon to go through all of its phases.

I wonder what a full moon has to do with making people crazy.

I wonder how the moon affects the tides.

I wonder why only half of earth can see the sun at one time.
